A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I knew this book would break my heart... I just had no idea how many times. It's a simple book about a simple man and the complicated life he ends up with. It's about love and loss and mostly about life. Ove is man who wants few things, but mostly he wants to be left alone by everyone.

When new neighbors move in, it become obvious that he will not be left alone. Ever again.

I laughed and cried as his story unfolded slowly, weaving the past and present into the story of a A man called Ove.

Read it. It's worth the time.
